Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Low-importance).

WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Needed articles.

We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.

Cleanup.

To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?

Standardize the Chronology.

A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)

Stub sorting

Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . .

Data sorting.

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

– The articles in Category:Theban tombs (including Category:Valley of the Kings‎ and Category:Valley of the Queens) have their technical names as the article titles. This was changed for one tomb last year in the discussion at Talk:Tomb of Tutankhamun#Requested move 22 April 2021. We also have the lost Tomb of Nebamun, which doesn't have a technical code. Having just visited many of the tombs, it strikes me that the move to common name would be appropriate for a few more of the high profile ones:

QV66 => Tomb of Nefertari (by far the most famous tomb in the valley of the Queens) Ngram comparison here
KV46 => Tomb of Yuya and Thuya (became the most well-known tomb prior to Tutankhamun's discovery, with its contents inhabiting a very large display area at the Egyptian Museum) [The Ngram is difficult here because Yuya and Thuya have different spellings and order in the sources; the title proposed is what is used at the Egyptian Museum]
KV17 => Tomb of Seti I (another of the most famous tombs in the Valley of the Kings) Ngram comparison here

Comment. How do we decide to draw the line here, though? Many more tombs could be called by the names of their owners, yet not all of them can, and for some of the most famous, it's awkward. KV9 rivals KV17 as one of the best-known tombs in the valley (it's not as large, but its decoration is similarly spectacular and it's more often open to the public), but its dual ownership by Ramesses V and VI makes it awkward to rename. Tomb of Ramesses V and VI? Tomb of Ramesses V and Ramesses VI? KV14 is a similar situation. A. Parrot (talk) 16:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have the same question in my mind, but rather than try to find a clear answer up front I figure best to go step by step. We try to identify and move all the clear ones first, then when we get to the grey area we can discuss case-by-case. A consensus should hopefully then become clear.
